Greenbank, Towednack Road, St Ives, TR26 3AL

Greenbank is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in St Ives (TR26 3AL). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2022) shows an F (score 24), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since May 2015. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 65), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on dual fuel. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Held since January 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £198,000 sits 52.3% above the 2008 sale of £130,000. At 53 m² it sits well below the postcode median (94 m² across 9 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2012. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
